Find the Inner Kingdom, may this book be the key

Dear Friends, creators and free spirits :) 🍓

My name is Ruben Topia, I am illustrator and one of my goals is to publish a special artbook. This book is about the inner wisdom that we bring along with us all the time. Sometimes we might get lost in distractions and the chaos of the world. That is fine.

This book contains over 200 isometric illustrations by me. Inspired by many different festivals, spiritual experiences, meditation, inner and outer travelling, architecture, dreams and psychedelics. It will contain an essay about finding this kingdom within. I am not claiming to have answers to anything. You can find them here, now, in yourself.
If this crowdfunding succeeds I can publish this book by myself and send it to you before christmas. So there will be a lot of colors during the winters.

May this book be the key for finding your inner self

Goal ?
I combined various cultures into utopian landscapes full of details. Where you can get lost in. The goal is to experience the magic of opening a book like when you were a child. To bring a positive message in black and white times. Creating oneness in times of duality. Also a guide to find yourself.

Who ?
Ruben Topia (1993) is a Dutch artist and illustrator.
He studied illustration at the WdKA in Rotterdam
